DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE ILLUSTRATED EMBODIMENTS

In the following description, for the purposes of explanation, numerous specific details are set forth in order to provide a thorough understanding of various exemplary embodiments. It is apparent, however, that various exemplary embodiments may be practiced without these specific details or with one or more equivalent arrangements. In other instances, well-known structures and devices are shown in block diagram form in order to avoid unnecessarily obscuring various exemplary embodiments.

In the accompanying figures, the size and relative sizes of layers, films, panels, regions, etc., may be exaggerated for clarity and descriptive purposes. Also, like reference numerals denote like elements.

When an element or layer is referred to as being “on,” “connected to,” or “coupled to” another element or layer, it may be directly on, connected to, or coupled to the other element or layer or intervening elements or layers may be present. When, however, an element or layer is referred to as being “directly on,” “directly connected to,” or “directly coupled to” another element or layer, there are no intervening elements or layers present. For the purposes of this disclosure, “at least one of X, Y, and Z” and “at least one selected from the group consisting of X, Y, and Z” may be construed as X only, Y only, Z only, or any combination of two or more of X, Y, and Z, such as, for instance, XYZ, XYY, YZ, and ZZ. Like numbers refer to like elements throughout. As used herein, the term “and/or” includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.

Although the terms first, second, etc. may be used herein to describe various elements, components, regions, layers, and/or sections, these elements, components, regions, layers, and/or sections should not be limited by these terms. These terms are used to distinguish one element, component, region, layer, and/or section from another element, component, region, layer, and/or section. Thus, a first element, component, region, layer, and/or section discussed below could be termed a second element, component, region, layer, and/or section without departing from the teachings of the present disclosure.

Spatially relative terms, such as “beneath,” “below,” “lower,” “above,” “upper,” and the like, may be used herein for descriptive purposes, and, thereby, to describe one element or feature's relationship to another element(s) or feature(s) as illustrated in the drawings. Spatially relative terms are intended to encompass different orientations of an apparatus in use, operation, and/or manufacture in addition to the orientation depicted in the drawings. For example, if the apparatus in the drawings is turned over, elements described as “below” or “beneath” other elements or features would then be oriented “above” the other elements or features. Thus, the exemplary term “below” can encompass both an orientation of above and below. Furthermore, the apparatus may be otherwise oriented (e.g., rotated 90 degrees or at other orientations), and, as such, the spatially relative descriptors used herein interpreted accordingly.

The terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments and is not intended to be limiting. As used herein, the singular forms, “a,” “an,” and “the” are intended to include the plural forms as well, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise. Moreover, the terms “comprises,” “comprising,” “includes,” and/or “including,” when used in this specification, specify the presence of stated features, integers, steps, operations, elements, components, and/or groups thereof, but do not preclude the presence or addition of one or more other features, integers, steps, operations, elements, components, and/or groups thereof.

Various exemplary embodiments are described herein with reference to sectional illustrations that are schematic illustrations of idealized exemplary embodiments and/or intermediate structures. As such, variations from the shapes of the illustrations as a result, for example, of manufacturing techniques and/or tolerances, are to be expected. Thus, exemplary embodiments disclosed herein should not be construed as limited to the particular illustrated shapes of regions, but are to include deviations in shapes that result from, for instance, manufacturing. For example, an implanted region illustrated as a rectangle will, typically, have rounded or curved features and/or a gradient of implant concentration at its edges rather than a binary change from implanted to non-implanted region. Likewise, a buried region formed by implantation may result in some implantation in the region between the buried region and the surface through which the implantation takes place. Thus, the regions illustrated in the drawings are schematic in nature and their shapes are not intended to illustrate the actual shape of a region of a device and are not intended to be limiting.

Unless otherwise defined, all terms (including technical and scientific terms) used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this disclosure is a part. Terms, such as those defined in commonly used dictionaries, should be interpreted as having a meaning that is consistent with their meaning in the context of the relevant art and will not be interpreted in an idealized or overly formal sense, unless expressly so defined herein.

The blue organic light emitting element BED may be adjacent to the green organic light emitting element GED. The blue organic light emitting element BED emits blue light.

FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view taken along a line II-II of FIG. 1. In FIG. 2, each light emission region of the first red organic light emitting element RED1, the second red organic light emitting element RED2, the green organic light emitting element GED, and the blue organic light emitting element BED may be defined by an opening of a pixel definition layer not shown for convenience of explanation, however it is not limited thereto.

As shown in FIG. 2, the organic light emitting diode display 1000 may further includes a pixel circuit PC positioned on the substrate SUB.

The pixel circuit PC may be positioned on the substrate SUB and may be respectively connected with the first red organic light emitting element RED1, the second red organic light emitting element RED2, the green organic light emitting element GED, and the blue organic light emitting element BED. The pixel circuit PC may include wiring including at least one of a scan line, a data line, a driving power source line, a common power source line, etc., and a plurality of thin film transistors TFT, and at least one capacitor corresponding to one organic light emitting element connected with the wiring.

The first red organic light emitting element RED1 may include a first electrode E1, a first organic emission layer OL1, a common electrode CE, an auxiliary layer AL, a first light emission region EA1, and a second light emission region EA2.

The first electrode E1 may be connected with the pixel circuit PC and may be an anode that is a hole injection electrode, however it is not limited thereto, and the first electrode E1 may be a cathode that is an electron injection electrode. The first electrode E1 is a light reflective electrode. The first electrode E1 may have smaller light transmittance compared with the second electrode E2 and the auxiliary layer AL. The first electrode E1 may include a light transmission conductive layer of a single layer or a multilayer, and include at least one of indium tin oxide (ITO) and indium zinc oxide (IZO), or a light reflective conductive layer including a metal having light reflectance such as Ag. The first electrode E1 reflects the light emitted from the first organic emission layer OL1 in a direction of the common electrode CE.

The first organic emission layer OL1 is disposed on the first electrode E1. The first organic emission layer OL1 includes at least a main emission layer among the hole injection layer, a hole transport layer, and an auxiliary organic layer, the main emission layer emitting light, and the electron transport layer and the electron injection layer. The first organic emission layer OL1 may include a red emission material. The first organic emission layer OL1 may have a predetermined thickness, therefore a first distance L1 may be formed between the first electrode E1 corresponding to the first light emission region EA1 and the common electrode CE, and a second distance L2 may be formed between the first electrode E1 of the second light emission region EA2 and the common electrode CE. Here, the second distance L2 may be longer than the first distance L1. The first distance L1 may be an optimized distance for generating constructive interference by corresponding to the first red light having the first peak wavelength of the range of 580 nm to 620 nm. The second distance L2 may be an optimized distance for generating the constructive interference by corresponding to the second red light having the second peak wavelength of the range of 620 nm to 680 nm.

The common electrode CE is disposed on the first organic emission layer OL1. The common electrode CE may be a cathode that is the electron injection electrode, however it is not limited thereto, and it may be the anode that is the hole injection electrode. The common electrode CE is a transparent electrode. The common electrode CE may have a shape extending entirely over the first red organic light emitting element RED1, the second red organic light emitting element RED2, the green organic light emitting element GED, and the blue organic light emitting element BED. The common electrode CE may include light transmissive conductive material or transparent conductive material of a single layer or be multilayer, including at least one among indium tin oxide (ITO), indium zinc oxide, (IZO), aluminum (Al), silver (Ag), lithium (Li), magnesium (Mg), etc.

The auxiliary layer AL corresponds to the second light emission region EA2, and is disposed between the first electrode E1 and the first organic emission layer OL1. The auxiliary layer AL does not overlap the first light emission region EA1. As the auxiliary layer AL is positioned between the first electrode E1 and the first organic emission layer OL1 by corresponding to the second light emission region EA2, the above-described first distance L1 is formed between the first electrode E1 corresponding to the first light emission region EA1 and the common electrode CE, and the above-described second distance L2 that is longer than the first distance L1 is formed between the first electrode E1 corresponding to the second light emission region EA2 and the common electrode CE. The auxiliary layer AL may be the light transmissive layer. The auxiliary layer AL may include the light transmissive conductive material of the single layer or the multilayer including at least one among indium tin oxide (ITO), amorphous indium tin oxide (a-ITO), and indium zinc oxide (IZO). Also, the auxiliary layer AL may include the light transmissive material of the single layer or the multilayer including the same material as at least one among the hole injection layer, the hole transport layer, and the auxiliary organic layer included in the first organic emission layer OL1. The auxiliary layer AL may have the thickness of 150 Å to 250 Å, however it is not limited thereto.

The first light emission region EA1 is the region that does not overlap the auxiliary layer AL. The first light emission region EA1 emits the first red light having the first peak wavelength having the range of 580 nm to 620 nm. The first light emission region EA1 may have a wider area than the second light emission region EA2.

On the other hand, the first light emission region EA1 may have a narrower area than the second light emission region EA2, or may have the same area as the second light emission region EA2.

The second light emission region EA2 may be adjacent to the first light emission region EA1 and may be the region overlapping the auxiliary layer AL. The second light emission region EA2 emits the second red light having the second peak wavelength having the range of 620 nm to 680 nm. For example, the second peak wavelength may be 650 nm.

The first light emission region EA1 and the second light emission region EA2 included in the first red organic light emitting element RED1 may emit simultaneously.

FIG. 3A is a graph showing a strength depending on a wavelength of light emitted by the first red organic light emitting element shown in FIG. 1. In FIG. 3A, the horizontal axis represents the wavelength of the light, and the vertical axis represents the strength of the light.

As shown in FIG. 3A, the light emitted by the first red organic light emitting element RED1 includes the first red light having the first peak wavelength of the range of 580 nm to 620 nm and the second red light having the second peak wavelength of the range of 620 nm to 680 nm. For example, the first red light emitted from the first light emission region EA1 may have the peak wavelength of 600 nm, and the second red light emitted from the second light emission region EA2 may have the peak wavelength of 650 nm, however the peak wavelength of the first red light and the peak wavelength of the second red light are not limited thereto.

As described above, the first red organic light emitting element RED1 may emit the first red light having the first peak wavelength in the first light emission region EA1, and may simultaneously emit the second red light having the second peak wavelength of the range of 620 nm to 680 nm in the second light emission region EA2.

By emitting the second red light having the second peak wavelength of the range of 620 nm to 680 nm and having the peak wavelength in the wavelength of 650 nm in the second light emission region EA2 of the first red organic light emitting element RED1, melatonin secretion of the user may be increased.

In a human eye, there are melatonin control cells which are believed to control melatonin secretion, in addition to rod cells and cone cells. Melatonin is a hormone which is involved in regulating a human's biological rhythm by detecting a light period. Melatonin control cells may increase melatonin secretion when absorbing light of a 650 nm wavelength in the light of the sun. Melatonin is believed to be involved in regulating blood flow, hormone control, and waste removal, as well as having a simple sleep inducing effect. As such, melatonin is a hormone with a very important role.

By emitting the second red light having the second peak wavelength of the range of 620 nm to 680 nm having 650 nm in the second light emission region EA2 of the first red organic light emitting element RED1, because the melatonin secretion of the user may be increased, along with the sleep inducing effect of the user, the regulating of blood flow, hormonal control, and waste removal may be improved such that the biorhythm of the user is improved.

By emitting the second red light in the second light emission region EA2 of the first red organic light emitting element RED1 and simultaneously emitting the first red light having the first peak wavelength with the range of 580 nm to 620 nm in the first light emission region EA1, the shifting of the red light emitted in the entire organic light emitting diode display 1000 due to the second red light may be minimized by a simultaneous emission of the first red light.

Again referring to FIG. 2, the second red organic light emitting element RED2 may emit the first red light that is substantially the same as the first red light having the first peak wavelength emitted in the first light emission region EA1 of the first red organic light emitting element RED1. The second red organic light emitting element RED2 may include the second electrode E2, the second organic emission layer OL2, and the common electrode CE.

The second electrode E2 is separated from the first electrode E1 and is connected with the pixel circuit PC, and may be the anode that is the hole injection electrode, however it is not limited thereto, and it may be the cathode that is the electron injection electrode. The second electrode E2 may include the same material as the first electrode E1 of the first red organic light emitting element RED1.

The second organic emission layer OL2 is disposed on the second electrode E2. The second organic emission layer OL2 includes at least a main emission layer among the hole injection layer, the hole transport layer, and the auxiliary organic layer, the main emission layer emitting light, and the electron transport layer and the electron injection layer. The second organic emission layer OL2 may include the same red emission material as the first organic emission layer OL1. The second organic emission layer OL2 may have the same thickness as the first organic emission layer OL1, thereby forming the first distance L1 between the second electrode E2 of the second red organic light emitting element RED2 and the common electrode CE.

The common electrode CE is disposed on the second organic emission layer OL2. The common electrode CE may be the cathode that is the electron injection electrode, however it may be the anode that is the hole injection electrode.

The green organic light emitting element GED emits green light. The green organic light emitting element GED may include the third electrode E3, the third organic emission layer OL3, and the common electrode CE.

The third electrode E3 is separated from the second electrode E2 and is connected with the pixel circuit PC, and may be the anode that is the hole injection electrode, however it may be the cathode that is the electron injection electrode. The third electrode E3 may include the same material as the first electrode E1 and the second electrode E2.

The third organic emission layer OL3 is disposed on the third electrode E3. The third organic emission layer OL3 includes at least a main emission layer among the hole injection layer, the hole transport layer, and the auxiliary organic layer, the main emission layer emitting the light, and the electron transport layer and the electron injection layer. The third organic emission layer OL3 includes a green emission material. The third organic emission layer OL3 may have a thinner thickness than the second organic emission layer OL2.

The common electrode CE is disposed on the third organic emission layer OL3.

The blue organic light emitting element BED emits blue light. The blue organic light emitting element BED includes the fourth electrode E4, the fourth organic emission layer OL4, and the common electrode CE.

The fourth electrode E4 is separated from the third electrode E3 and is connected with the pixel circuit PC, and may be the anode that is the hole injection electrode, however it is not limited thereto and it may be the cathode that is the electron injection electrode. The fourth electrode E4 may include the same material as the first electrode E1, the second electrode E2, and the third electrode E3.

The fourth organic emission layer OL4 is disposed on the fourth electrode E4. The fourth organic emission layer OL4 includes at least a main emission layer among the hole injection layer, the hole transport layer, and the auxiliary organic layer, the main emission layer emitting the light, and the electron transport layer and the electron injection layer. The fourth organic emission layer OL4 includes blue emission material. The fourth organic emission layer OL4 may have a thinner thickness than the third organic emission layer OL3.

The common electrode CE is disposed on the fourth organic emission layer OL4.

By emitting the second red light having the second peak wavelength having the range of 620 nm to 680 nm including the 650 nm wavelength in the second light emission region EA2 of the first red organic light emitting element RED1, the melatonin secretion of the user may be increased.

As the organic light emitting diode display 1000 according to an exemplary embodiment emits the second red light having the second peak wavelength of the range of 620 nm to 680 nm including 650 nm in the second light emission region EA2 of the first red organic light emitting element RED1, the melatonin secretion of the user may be increased, thereby improving the user's biorhythm.

In the organic light emitting diode display 1000 according to an exemplary embodiment, since the first red organic light emitting element RED1 is disposed along the border of the substrate SUB, the change of the red light emitted in the entire organic light emitting diode display 1000 due to the second red light emitted in the second light emission region EA2 of the first red organic light emitting element RED1 may be minimized.

Next, a simulation confirming that the wavelength of the light emitted from the red organic light emitting element is changed by the auxiliary layer will be described with reference to FIG. 3B.
